I ran into a strange one at one of my local haunts. A 6" (yes, 6") Model 13-3 with a pinned barrel (pinned barrels on Model 13's ended with the 13-2), an adjustable rear sight (yes, not fixed) and target hammer & trigger. It doesn't make any sense to me, but it looks all original and is...

I think you’re right. I found a few pictures of an early 90’s 629 Classic that had this box in the package.

Has anyone seen this black S&W box before? There are six various front sights in the trademarked box. I don’t know the age of the package, so I wasn’t sure what section/era to place this post. So thought I would start here.

All the numbers match. I’m thinking the yoke got scratched or damaged somehow and someone swapped it out with a different yoke.

Here’s an early Highway Patrolman, S130XXX. Everything looks great except the yoke has a shiny blue finish instead of the matte finish, like normal Highway Patrolmans. I’m thinking a model 27 yoke was swapped into the revolver for some reason. Any other thoughts?

I'm working a gun show this weekend and I always try and add at least one one of my personal firearms (something special/different/collectible) to our tables with the shop's inventory. I usually try and give members here a chance at it before I sell it at the show, especially if its hard to...

Here is an extra pair that I don't need anymore, but as other members are always asking if I have any spare sets, I will offer them at a good price to whoever needs them. Solid conditioned (a couple of small chips and rub marks) K-frame diamond magnas that are perfect for a good shooter or...

Here are three sets of cleaning tools that are extras for me. Perfect to go with your revolver, or if you are either trying to replace a lost set or you need a set to go with a presentation box. 1) Two piece set for a short barreled .38/.357 with fixed sights 2) Four piece set for a 6" or...

Bump with a big price drop

Price Reduced Here is an original S&W set of combat stocks for a K-frame square butt revolver. They are made with the harder to find Morado (Pau Ferro) wood and are beautiful to look at. I don't have the revolver that these stocks came on anymore, so I don't mind letting someone else enjoy...

Yes. I think two different names of the same wood.

Thank you for the link

Thanks, that’s super helpful. The color is not the same, but the grain looks very similar.

These factory combat stocks came off a 6” Model 48-4 from 1980-1981 (92K serial). I was going to offer them up for sale, but I’m not 100% sure of the wood (and I always try to be as accurate as possible). I originally assumed they were Goncalo Alves, but then a friend of mine thought they...

I think you’re correct. This 34 (34-1 to be exact) is definitely nickel. The finish is so banged up that I didn’t really pay attention. That makes much more sense. Thanks!
